I was waiting for this game back when it was Akella's Sea Dogs 2. Unfortunately, Akella "cashed in" on Disney's offer and shipped it out a bit early.

I'll try to find the Sea Dog 2 feature list. Suffice it to say, PotC is disappointing if you see how much more was planned. In all it's a cohesive enough gaming experience by itself, which has nothing to do with the movie other than Kiera Knightley's opening narration.

But, the graphics are beautiful, and there are many expanded features from the original Sea Dogs. However, some aspects were removed that made could make a good game great. Namely, the different campaigns for each nation, a more diverse economic system, and more ship specific features (collapsing sails, for one).

But, some light is on the horizon. The game is quite moddable since all the stats, statistics, and scripts are in .c and .h text files, and Akella said they will help the game community after they finish the European versions of the game.
